    36-year-old, Mohammed Zubair will challenge the legality of his extradition from Pakistan.

    Zubair, of Heath Terrace Barkerend is accused of killing Imran Khan and Ahmedin Sayed Khyel after their beaten bodies were found beside a country lane in Tong in May 2011.

    He had been held in Pakistan since November 2013 but was extradited back to the UK in May.
